[0024] Connecting frame 4, connecting piece 5 is inserted inside connecting frame 4, and locking screw 6 is installed at one end of connecting piece 5;

[0025] In use, one end of the wire harness can be passed through the connector 3 and locked in the connector frame 4 inside the connector cavity 2, so that one end of the wire harness is locked between the connector piece 5 and the inner wall of the connector frame 4. Then, by rotating the locking screw 6, since one end of the locking screw 6 is against one end of the connector piece 5, when the locking screw 6 moves towards the connector piece 5, it will apply pressure to the wire harness between the connector piece 5 and the inner wall of the connector frame 4, thereby preventing the wire harness from falling off and achieving a locking effect. This avoids the problem of the connector wires easily falling off.

[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a wiring frame 1 is provided to prevent the wiring harness terminals from easily falling off. The wiring frame 1 has a trapezoidal cross-section. Several linearly equidistant locking screw holes 7 are opened on one end of the wiring frame 1. Several connecting blocks 8 are fixedly installed on one end of the wiring frame 1. Several connecting grooves 9 are opened on the other end of the wiring frame 1. Several linearly equidistant slots 12 are opened on the lower end of the wiring frame 1. The slots 12 are located directly below the wiring port 3. The connecting frame 4 has a cuboid structure and is located directly below the wiring port 3. A locking hole is opened on the end of the connecting frame 4 near the locking screw holes 7. One end of the locking screw 6 is installed in the locking hole. The locking screw 6 at one end of the wiring frame 1 cooperates with the locking screw hole 7. By rotating the locking screw 6, the entire frame will move into the connecting frame 4. One end of the locking screw 6 can pass through the locking hole, which facilitates the subsequent locking of the wiring harness.

[0027] The connecting piece 5 has a hook-shaped structure. A locking block 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting piece 5, and the locking block 13 is fixedly locked in the slot 12.

One end of the connecting piece 5 is directly opposite the locking hole opened on the surface of the connecting frame 4. Limiting blocks 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the connecting piece 5. The wiring cavity 2 is linearly and equidistantly arranged at one end of the wiring frame 1. The connecting frame 4 is fixedly installed inside the wiring cavity 2. Limiting grooves 15 are opened on both sides of the lower end of the wiring cavity 2. Limiting blocks 14 are locked in the limiting grooves 15. 14 can be linearly displaced along the limiting groove 15 in the wiring cavity 2; the connecting piece 5 is a conductive metal with good elasticity, and its lower end of the locking block 13 is locked in the slot 12, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of one end of the connecting frame 4, thereby fixing the entire connecting piece 5. When connecting the wire harness, one end of the wire harness can be placed between the inner wall of the connecting frame 4 and the connecting piece 5. Then, by rotating the locking screw 6, the locking screw 6 is moved towards the connecting piece 5, thereby applying pressure to the connecting piece 5 to make it bend, so that the wire harness connection end located between the inner wall of the connecting frame 4 and the connecting piece 5 is locked, thus avoiding the problem of the wire harness connection end easily falling off.

A sliding groove is provided inside the sliding frame 10, and a sealing plate 11 is inserted into the sliding groove. The sealing plate 11 can be moved along the sliding groove within the sliding frame 10. Several locking screw holes 7 are provided directly below the sealing plate 11, and locking screws 6 are screwed into the locking screw holes 7. One end of the locking screw 6 abuts against one end of the outer wall of the connecting piece 5. The sealing plate 11 is installed at the outer end of the locking screw 6.

[0029] In actual use, one end of the wire harness can be passed through the connector 3 and locked in the connecting frame 4 inside the connector cavity 2, so that one end of the wire harness is locked between the connecting piece 5 and the inner wall of the connecting frame 4. Then, by rotating the locking screw 6, since one end of the locking screw 6 is against one end of the connecting piece 5, when the locking screw 6 moves towards the connecting piece 5, it will apply pressure to the wire harness between the connecting piece 5 and the inner wall of the connecting frame 4, thereby preventing the wire harness from falling off and achieving a locking effect. This avoids the problem of the connector wires easily falling off.
